Just wanted to make mention of a team - first act that I have only just noticed on a replay. As we know, Kossie hardly touched the ball all game, but he did have a few great defensive moments. The one I want to highlight involves the Petracca dribbling goal, where Kossie does a powerful front on shepherd/bump on Dunkley to prevent him from possibly tackling Petracca. Dunkley ends up on his back and Petracca gets the 6 points. Just luv this kid.

Part of the family? He's the bloody godfather!

There certainly is a lot of luv being spread on here tonight. I just went to bed to try and spread a bit more love, but apparently I smell like a brewery, and I have ignored her to the last 26 weeks. So here i am back amongst those who know how to appreciate and celebrate a win for the ages. .

Hahaha Pickled Fence!!! Luv it

During the first and second quarters, I really wanted someone to clean up Libba - and shut that gob of his. But I don't think anyone of our team could have hurt him more than the our performance in the last 2 quarters. Hope that really hurt Libba.

If you are not happy now Old Dee, you’ll never be. Please enjoy

Haha is he going to Carlton because we wouldn’t trade Jordon and Sparrow for him?

Do it for me!! (and by me, of course i mean all us supporters)

First bounce will be (not May be) in the middle.

We got this.

isn't it a [censored] when you have to explain your joke.

If that's the case, then the Cerra deal, if its to be done, will be with current and future picks, because I'm positive the Club would not trade out Sparrow and Jordon. If it did, then Club culture would be out the door, and greed will have replaced it. And that is not how I see our Club proceeding. But just my thoughts

Sorry daz, but there is no way I'd be trading out Sparrow and Jordon. They have been great role players for us this year, and both show greater potential coming. Why risk this? If Cerra were to nominate us, I'd see the Club using players like Baker, Bedford, Lockhart and Chandler as more likely trade offerings, rather than Sparrow and Jordon. (although I'd hate to see any of them go).

Not even an honourable mention?........

Whatever the result next Saturday, this football team we support has brought me more joy this year than any other year that I have supported them, including’64. The players , coaches and support staff have my greatest admiration and thanks for what they have achieved to date, for themselves, the Club and for us loyal supporters. That sentiment will not be diminished if the worst were to happen on Saturday night. I would also like to state that while I’d love to be able to see it live in person, that fact that I can’t will not diminish the shear joy and ecstasy I will feel if we win. It’s our time, I believe.

Straight and to point as always D.

Haha, was that deliberate?

The best thread ever

I don't see Tomlinson down back next year. Petty, to my mind, has surpassed him for that role. Not sure where he fits in to be honest - he won't (shouldn't) get the wing back. Perhaps he ventures forward and competes with Tmac for the CHF role.

Hardtack, you can post Paul Kelly any time you want. What an amazing wordsmith and storyteller he is. Thank you

My sister-in-law is a doggies fan. She's not so bad. We live 850km apart - that helps.

And best of all, 3 future father/sons, and 1 future father/daughter.

Its a bye week next week OD. Lets us old blokes catch our breath.

Its been over a month since you posted OD. At first I thought because we were playing so well, you had nothing to complain about. Then i thought back and remembered that your later posts were somewhat positive in nature - and i thought, he has now become a believer at last. So i was concerned. Glad you are OK. And for your benefit, we are in the GF saturday week in Perth, starting at 7.15pm our time. Don't miss it!

WTF have you been OD? You OK?
